Magdalina Thanks' you

 

Dear All at Rotary Club of Murray Bridge,

Magdalina has nearly completed Form 6! Your support for Magdalina’s A Level scholarship has helped her reach one of the major milestones in the Tanzanian education system – sitting the Form 6 National Examinations.

Just before our Form 6 students started their National Examinations, they spent time considering how much their education at St Jude’s has changed their life and opened up a world of opportunities to them. Magdalina has written a letter to thank you for all the support you have given her throughout her time at St Jude’s. Please find Magdalina’s letter attached – we hope you will have as much joy reading it as Magdalina did writing it.

With the end of the academic year creeping closer and results anticipated in August, Magdalina is looking forward to embracing the opportunities completing A Level studies will offer her. We’ll be emailing you her results when they are available.

Your generosity and commitment to supporting Magdalina’s education to this point have made a truly meaningful difference in her life. Thank you from Magdalina’s family and, our school family. Together we have been educating the future leaders of Tanzania!

Best Wishes,

Derick.
